10/3/2013 to 10/6/2013 – Last fall Grete and I were back in Washington for a short bit and took a couple day road trip to break in the new truck, Wendy. We hoped to enjoy a bit of Washington’s authentic beauty so the drive focused on both hitting the Cascades as well as the coast. Our […]
Read more "Fall Washington Roadtrip"10/12/2013 to 10/17/2013 – While having a glorious conversation with Jonny Cromwell in mid-September, discussing adventures during his summer in Glacier Point, Alaska and his plans (or lack there of) for the fall and winter, we came to the conclusion that another bicycle trip was in order. A couple weeks later, Grete and I happened […]
Read more "The Kokopelli Trail"9/12/2013 to 9/19/2013 – This is the story of Dave, Grete and my ride of the first half of the Colorado Trail (Denver to Buena Vista). It was each of our first endeavors in bikepacking, and was one hell of a great ride. The words for this post were generously provided by Grete Gansauer and […]
Read more "This is Going to be Fun…"10/4/2012 to 10/6/2012 – 6:30am is a rough time to wake up on a bicycle tour, especially when its below 15 degrees outside. Rolling out of our sleeping bags in Ferndale, MT was not easy, but we had to get our camp packed up and out of the way for a morning church meeting. So […]
Read more "Ferndale, MT to the Canadian Border (…and Back to Colorado)"9/17/2012 to 9/24/2012 – Waking up in the beautiful, albeit smokey, GTNP was inspiring. We were surrounded by RVs but the campground woke up slow, so the usual drone of generators and general racket of modern luxury camping was absent. We ate breakfast, broke camp and headed north along Jackson Lake. Traditionally the route takes a hard […]
Read more "Grand Teton National Park, WY to Butte, MT"9/4/2012 to 9/8/2012 – After resting up and getting inspired by some bike racing (to ride faster? yeah right!) we hit the road again and finally hopped onto the Great Divide Route. The ride took us up along the Elk River, where we saw our only bear of the trip (small black bear), Jonny learned […]
Read more "Steamboat Springs, CO to Antelope Reservoir, WY"8/27/2012 to 9/2/2012 – The Great Tour started as one of the most tossed together plans imaginable. About a week and a half before the end of an unfortunately short rafting season in Colorado, and before Jonny’s Leadville 100 race, I was wondering what I was going to do with over 2 months of shoulder […]
Read more "Golden, CO to Steamboat Springs, CO"As promised months ago, I finally have begun making progress on editing through the photos of Dave, (Jonny) and I’s bike tour from this last fall. The tour covered ~1700 miles in 44 days of biking and was hands-down one of the most amazing adventures I have ever been on. Obviously, a month and a […]
Read more "The Great Tour… Finally"8/27/12 to TBD – I am currently sitting at the Estes Park town library, on the fourth official day of our Great Divide bicycle tour. I am out on this excellent adventure with solid membersof the dream team: Sir Jonny Bomber and Captain Dave-O Reed. We started a couple days ago in Golden, hitting Coors […]
Read more "Bicycle Wandering?"10/23/2011 to 10/24/2011 – When you are stuck in a classroom in an abandoned gas station for nearly 8 hours a day, you really feel the urge to get outside and do something with your days off. Our WEMT class’ favorite weekend activities included going out for some afternoon drinking in Juneau and exploring the […]
